We have our male GSD from here. He's a Long Coat and just such a great family dog. He's pretty protective though and was the only pup in the litter that actually fetched a ball when she threw it, and retrieved it. It makes it really fun to play with him, but he definitely likes his jobs. I think he knows about 12 different tricks now because I love to challenge him mentally. People joke he's a circus dog, but he LOVES it.

I'd love to hear about more people that got their dogs from this breeder. Ours loved to greet people at the door up until 1yr. old - then instead of thinking they were here for his play time, he started thinking they were coming to kill us all. Nothing really initiated that, but we've definitely had to always put him away when guests come over - especially those that don't like dogs, he's never met before or have kids. He just sees kids as mini strangers even though he was super socialized to them newborn - 16yrs old as a puppy.

Outside of the house and his property, he's a gem (although I still think he gets way too excitable around children) and man after he turned 2yrs. old he's turned into a cuddler. He's 2.5yrs. old now.

Bo is an amazing breeder! She can be shy at first, but we met the parents when we first met our puppy (our dog was too young to come home on the first visit). She is a small operation, but that way she can breed a few excellent litters a year.
We've had our dog from her for 4 years. Absolutely healthy, wonderful, and amazing dog.
Highly recommend!!!

Well after some advice on this board and other research we have decided to get a male GSD puppy from this breeder. We spoke with her on the phone a couple times and visited her, her adult dogs, and her puppies last weekend. She was very knowledgeable and helpful in answering our questions/concerns. Her dogs were great looking and their temperament was even better. The puppies won't be ready for about 3 weeks so until then we'll be busy getting the house ready for a new puppy. Our current GSD is 9 years old so it's been a while since we had a puppy...time to get researching training methods again. Thanks for all of your help!

You could even go to the GSD club and see their dogs. It's always better to see the dogs before you decide what you want. They meet every Fri evening at the Animal Inn in Lake Elmo.
